Senior Notes
The Company’s borrowings include $5.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes with maturity dates ranging from 2027 through 2064 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture between the Company and a trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to consolidate, merge, convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets. In addition, the Indenture contains other customary terms, including certain events of default, upon the occurrence of which the Senior Notes may be declared immediately due and payable. The Company is in compliance with all covenants related to the Senior Notes.
In September 2025, the Company repurchased multiple series of its outstanding Senior Notes via cash tender offers with a combined aggregate principal amount of $1.9 billion: $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.45% senior notes due 2027, $797 million aggregate principal amount of 5.40% senior notes due 2029, $22 million aggregate principal amount of 5.90% senior notes due 2054, and $458 million aggregate principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due 2064. Neither the 5.45% senior notes due 2031 nor the 5.60% senior notes due 2034 were tendered.
As a result of tendering a portion of its Senior Notes, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $94 million within loss on debt extinguishment, net within its condensed consolidated statements of income, the cash outflow for which is recorded within other financing activities within its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This loss on extinguishment reflects the difference between the carrying value and the amount paid to acquire the tendered Senior Notes and related expenses.
Credit Facilities
On February 16, 2024, the Company entered into credit agreements providing for:
a five year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $2.0 billion expiring in 2029 (the “5-year Revolving Credit Facility”); and
an eighteen month senior unsecured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million and a three year senior unsecured term credit loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (together, the Term Loan Credit Facilities, and together with the 5-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Term Loan Credit Facilities have a floating interest rate based on a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) index.
At September 30, 2025, there are no amounts outstanding under the 5-year Revolving Credit Facility.
There were no amounts outstanding under the eighteen month senior unsecured term loan facility when it reached maturity in August 2025. In September 2025, the Company prepaid $770 million of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the three year senior unsecured term loan credit facility.
Commercial Paper
On March 4, 2024, the Company entered into a commercial paper program that allows it to issue up to $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of short-term notes to finance short-term liabilities. Any such issuance will mature within 364 days from date of issue. There was no commercial paper outstanding as of September 30, 2025.
Future Maturities of Long-term Debt: Maturities of long-term debt in the table below reflect the impact of repayment such that total maturities equal the contractual value of long-term debt net of amounts repaid as of September 30, 2025. The maturities of long-term debt for the periods subsequent to September 30, 2025 are as follows (in millions):

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. At September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt obligations, comprised of both Senior Notes and Term Loan Credit Facilities with current portions excluded, was $5.4 billion compared to a carrying value of $5.1 billion. At December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt obligations, comprised of both Senior Notes and Term Loan Credit Facilities with current portions excluded, was $7.8 billion compared to a carrying value of $7.8 billion. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for the publicly registered Senior Notes, which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values and principal values consider the terms of the related debt and exclude the impacts of debt discounts. Because there is no active market for trading outstanding term loans, the fair values of the Term Loan Credit Facilities are estimated to be equal to their respective carrying values.
